Welcome to this five minute breath work session.
So find a comfortable seat either sitting upright or laying down.
Gently close down your eyes or soften your gaze a few feet in front of you.
Allow the shoulders to melt away from your ears and your jaw to soften.
We are going to use a special breath work today to relax your body.
So let's start by releasing all the air from your lungs with a gentle inhale and a gentle sigh out through the mouth.
Empty everything out.
Now close your mouth and inhale for two,
Three,
Four.
Hold two,

Continue to maintain the slow steady rhythm.
Use the count to focus your mind.
And then if you find your mind wandering,
Simply bring it back to the numbers and the breath.
Breathe.
Continue to repeat the following sequence.
One final round.
So inhaling two,

Let your breath return to its natural rhythm.
Simply observe the body and the breath.
And notice how your body feels.
The quietness of your mind.
The slowness of your heart rate.
And the calmness in your chest.
And when you're ready,
Gently deepen your breath and slowly open your eyes.
Carry this feeling of centered calm with you as you move forward with your day.
